In this episode, Ryan sits down with Susan from Hell Yeah Denver to explore how she supports and elevates local artists in the Mile High City. From connecting artists to businesses and helping them secure grants, to sharing the best local food spots, Susan offers a unique blend of art, entrepreneurship, and Denver culture. Tune in to discover why “If it's not a hell yeah, it's a no!” 5 Takeaways Why “Hell Yeah”: Susan's guiding principle is to take on only the projects that truly excite her—if it's not a “hell yeah,” it's a no. This mentality shapes her company's name and mission. Business Model That Puts Artists First: Susan focuses on securing funding from businesses rather than relying on artists' pockets. This approach allows creators to focus on their art while she manages the business side. Non-Traditional Art Spaces: From car dealerships to salons, Susan partners with businesses that want to feature and support local art, creating fresh opportunities for artists to showcase their work. Community & Connection: Denver's art scene is thriving in areas like RiNo, Santa Fe, 40 West, Englewood, and more. By acting as a connector, Susan helps artists tap into these communities and resources. Support Local: Purchasing original pieces directly from local artists fosters creativity, keeps Denver's art community vibrant, and often comes at a surprisingly affordable price point.

On this episode of What's Good, Denver?!, Ryan sits down with Josh Epps, founder of Jelly Café, a beloved breakfast staple with locations in Capitol Hill and near the University of Denver. Josh shares the origins of Jelly, his journey from a novice restaurateur to a successful business owner, and how the industry has changed over the past 14 years. From surviving the COVID-19 pandemic to adapting to inflationary pressures, Josh provides insight into the challenges and joys of running a restaurant in Denver. Top 5 Takeaways: Right Place, Right Time: Josh and his ex-wife saw an opportunity in Denver's early brunch scene when they moved from San Francisco. At the time, only a few players like Snooze and Lucille's dominated the space, making Jelly a much-needed addition. Building a Unique Atmosphere is Key: According to Josh, good food is everywhere in Denver, but what sets a restaurant apart is its vibe and atmosphere. Creating a memorable experience is just as important as what's on the plate. The Pandemic Changed Everything: Jelly had to adapt quickly to COVID-era restrictions, pivoting to takeout and delivery while dealing with supply chain issues. Though DoorDash and Uber Eats became a significant revenue stream, their high fees made direct orders from customers far more profitable. Inflation's Heavy Toll on Restaurants: The rising cost of ingredients like eggs (which jumped from $42 to $152 per case) has made running a restaurant even harder than surviving the pandemic. Josh hopes to weather this economic storm by streamlining operations and refining Jelly's menu. A Chef's Journey: From “White Boy Stoner Kitchen” to Professionalism: Initially, Jelly struggled with staffing, leading Josh to do a lot of the cooking himself. Eventually, he brought in Maria, his head chef, and since then, the restaurant has flourished under a more structured and efficient kitchen team. Josh also gives his top Denver food picks, including The Post for fried chicken and Jet's Pizza for Detroit-style pizza. For those craving Jelly's legendary brunch, visit Capitol Hill (600 E 13th Ave) or DU (Evans Ave) and support a true Denver breakfast institution.
